or humor.... Struggled with where to put this. Apparently goose intestines are more valuable than chicken parts.

What amazes me is that something like goose intestines could possibly be valuable enough to actually smuggle into the US from China. Not that the H5N1 angle isn't important, of course.

Apparently there's quite a market for duck feet too.

from the menu of the Taydo Restaurant restaurant:

Goose intestine stir fried with sate sauce. 8.95
0031. Ruot Ngong Xao Tau Xi
Goose intestine stir fried with black bean sauce 8.95
0032. Ruot Ngong Xao Cai Chua
Goose intestine sauteed with pickle mustard green 8.95

THE WALT WHITMAN OF EATS
quote:
''Among the delicacies available'' were ''salted mustard greens with goose intestines. I like to think that I'm as fond of chicken feet as the next fellow, but goose intestines are the sort of thing that makes me suspect that those Chinese waiters were correct a number of times when they said, 'You no like.' ''...
I ordered chicken feet in Mexico because the word chicken was on the menu but foot wasn't. There wasn't anything to eat from the feet that I could tell, unless you are supposed to eat the crunchy parts. And the pigs feet I got under similar circumstances still had the hairs on it, kind of like some people have a few hairs on their big toe. My Spanish is better now than it was then.

And a recipe for Stuffed Duck's Feet.
